Ask anyone who knows anything about spray tanning, where to find the best in Wilmington, NC and they'll say "Prima, of course". We were innovating the industry a decade ago with HVLP technology and a gamut of spray tanning products that we manufacture and sell to other spa and salons worldwide.

You may have heard that Prima
is the best place in Wilmington to get sprayed and this can be attributed
to several important facts.

We
were the first location offering this service in the Wilmington
area.

We
use only Tango Sun spray on tan products and sell the Tango Sun after care lotion.

We
employ and have trained the best spray tanning technicians in the region.

Our
research and development in spray tanning is ongoing with product and equipment innovation.

Jennifer
is shown on right using an old school airbrush to apply the tan in the early
days when Star News did a feature on our innovations. We are currently
using the much quicker turbine (HVLP) method shown above which takes about
three minutes! This form of spray tanning literally gives the best
result!

Facts
"THE AIRBRUSH OR SPRAY TAN WHEN PROPERLY APPLIED IS SIMPLY
THE SAFEST, QUICKEST, MOST BEAUTIFUL TAN METHOD AVAILABLE TO DATE"
...With that being said, let's present some facts to help clear
up some of the confusion on the subject of DHA.

DHA affects only the outermost cells of the epidermis, stratum corneum
by reacting with amino acids (components of proteins) in this outermost
skin layer. This seems to be the fact despite the claims by some
that they have found ways to drive the effects of DHA to deeper
levels of the skin.

The stratum
corneum is the outermost layer of the epidermis, comprised of cells
that some contend are metabolically active tissue but most refer
to as dead skin cells. Either way this is the layer that is ready
to sluff off and as such, the tan will last until this layer exfoliates.
This process can take anywhere from a week to 14 days.

Preparation
and aftercare
Proper preparation and after care is the key to optimizing an Airbrush
Tan. Just as some people will treat leather with mink oil or other
preparations to condition it against premature wear and discoloration,
it is a great idea to exfoliate and condition the skin before and
after an Airbrush Tan. Some lotions are designed for this and some
can do more harm than good.
Ideally, the skin should be exfoliated with an exfoliating scrub
or glycolic product. Then it should be moisturized with the proper
moisturizer approx. 4 hours prior to spraying so that it has conditioned
the skin but is not a residue on the top of the skin. Moisturizing
should be repeated again after the first shower, some eight hours
later. Taking these steps insures the freshest, cleanest, longer lasting
substratum (skin) and can mean the difference between your tan lasting
5 days or 10 or more days. Artists go to great lengths preparing
the surfaces of canvas in order to insure works of art that will
last longer.

Worth
mentioning
Yes, chlorine will strip an ABT quickly.

The best products in the wrong hands are worthless, train your people!

DHA
vs other tanning agentsAmerican
Academy of Dermatology regarding Non DHA Tanners:
"Similar-sounding products on the market that rely on other
ingredients to darken the skin, such as tanning preparations, tan
accelerators, bronzers, tanning promoters and tanning pills, are
not as effective as sunless or self-tanners containing DHA. In fact,
tanning pills that contain an ingredient called canthaxanthin have
been linked to hepatitis and urticaria, a condition marked by severe
itching and skin eruptions..."

Prima
offers the very best in Custom Spray Tanning. In fact we know a
lot about the process, products and equipment. We created two of
the most popular spray tanning manufacturing companies "Chief-Tan",
which we sold to an investor and "Tangosun" both of which
are currently in wide use in U.S. and Australian tanning salons
and spas.

Q. What is spray tanning and how does it work? Is it safe?

A.
Our Tanning professionals do most of the tanning at Prima but we can
come to your house, work or even on location for special events. We
use the state of the art HVLP spray tanning systems to apply your customized
spray tan while
ensuring your privacy and comfort.
We will use the level of color that is right four skin coloring. Prima
and Bring Me The Sun Mobile Tanning will give you the most natural
looking UV free tan available. Our products are, the best quality tanning
solutions on the market containing DHA and other safe/FDA approved ingredients.
Spray tanning is a great idea for those concerned with skin care and
prevention of skin cancer.

Q.
I already spray tan at a salon or in a booth, why would I try Prima
or Bring Me The Sun?

A.
Our clientele desire a level of precision
and accuracy that can only be delivered during a one-on-one, hand applied
session, while at the same time requires convenience that is conducive
to their busy lifestyle/schedule. Bring
Me The Sun
offers the best of both worlds as well as competitive pricing.

Q.
How long does it take to get sprayed?

A.
It takes approximately 3-5 minutes per person.
Unlike airbrush systems, HVLP covers larger areas more quickly and evenly
so you are not standing disrobed while a technician painstakingly sprays
you with an airbrush. So for Tanning Parties plan to accommodate all
of your guests.

Q.
Will I turn orange or have streaks?

A.
Bring Me The Sun Mobile Tanning will give you a worry free tan.
We guarantee a streak free tan that you will never have to rub in or be
bothered with. No more orange between your fingers or knees! Make sure
to exfoliate before your service to avoid any over-saturation on the dry
spots!

Q.
Why not just use a regular tanning bed?

A.
Unlike Tanning beds, spray tans are not harmful for your skin. Tanning
beds still deliver harmful UV rays to your body. Plus our spray tan is
instant! You will not need to lay in a bed for 10-12 min day after day
to get results. With the spray tan you will not have redness or peeling
unlike a tanning bed. Stretch marks look so much better after a spray
tan!

Q.
Why should I choose your service over other spray tans offered in tanning
salons?

A.
Some areas of your body get sprayed to light or to heavy leaving you with
an uneven tan. Booths leave blotches and fade uneven. Plus a professional
is not there making sure that you tan is perfect!

Q.
Do I have to be naked?

A.
You do not have to be naked. It is your choice how
you want to look. If you want no tan lines then you will be naked. We
do provide disposable wear to cover your areas that you are shy about.
If you want to wear a swim suit, please pick a dark colored suit or an
old one.

Q.
How do I prepare for my tan?

A.
EXFOLIATE ALL OVER! Make sure to shave and wax before your spray tan. Your skin MUST be clean from all, perfumes and deodorant.

Q.
Aftercare?

A.
We
will give you a after care check list to take home. Please wear loose
clothes to wear after the spray. The solution will rub off on your clothes,
but it does not stain. You will need to STAY away from water for the next
8 hours. This allows the solution to set and develop evenly all over.
In the morning make sure to take a shower (do not go to the gym until
you shower). You will see the solution wash off in the shower (this is
normal). Then apply the tan extender lotion.

Q.
How long will it last?

A.
Our product will last between 5-14 days depending
on the individual. The tan slowly fades just like a tan that you get from
the sun or tanning bed. Make sure to extend your tan with our tan extender
lotion.

Q.
Will you drive to any location?

A.
Yes we try to travel to our clients! Of course our
charges will increase depending on the location. Rates are generally applied
to a 20 mile radius be sure to contact your technician to confirm this
before making plans.

Q.
Is it okay to get a tan if pregnant or nursing?

A.
Typically, it is safe to use tanning lotion while
you are pregnant. The active ingredient Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) is a three-carbon
sugar that is non-toxic and therefore is not harmful to you or your baby.
DHA works by interacting with your dead skin cells to produce brown pigment
called melanoidin. DHA does not go beyond this layer of cells and is not
absorbed into the body. Skin is constantly shedding dead skin cells and
renewing itself, and so the tan fades as this happens. Please check with
your doctor before we visit.

We
have been in the sunless tanning industry for over 10 years. Sunless tanning
goes by several names including; airbrush tanning, spray tanning,and sunless. We use the best system available which is custom HVLP or "High-volume-low-pressure" which enables us to deliver a flawless tan in just three minutes or less.
We created several of the best spray tanning products on the market today.
Bring Me The Sun is a division of Tango-Sun and Goodspa
located in Wilmington North Carolina.

Our
core philosophy has always been to over-deliver on quality. Tango-Sun spray
tanning solution and lotions are exceeding expectations in the tanning
industry from Los Angeles to Onslow to to Sydney. Our products are never
animal tested and are manufactured with pride in the USA.

The
quality of your airbrush tan depends on the expertise of the tanning technician
and also on the quality of the tanning formula. Our products are safe
environmentally friendly and never animal tested.

The
airbrush/spray tanning formula used in our spa and by our mobile tanning experts
contains an active ingredient called dihydroxyacetone, more commonly known
as DHA, a colorless sugar that darkens the skin through staining. DHA,
which has been approved by the FDA for over 30 years for cosmetic applications,
reacts with amino acids in the outermost layer of the skin, producing
color changes in the dead surface cells found there. As these dead skin
cells naturally wear off, the color gradually fades, just like a real
sun tan.
